My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Mortimer — but you can call me Morty  

 

Hi, I’m Morty. I’m about 10 years old, and while I may be a senior, I’ve still got a big heart and a big bark. My story’s a little rough—I don’t know what I did wrong, but my family left me behind in an empty house. It was scary and lonely until the landlord found me and gave me a second chance.

 

I wasn’t taken care of very well before. At my vet visit, they said the hair on my bottom and back legs is missing and the skin is calloused. I guess that happened because I was left in a very small space and couldn’t move around much. But now? I get to stretch out on a soft bed every night, and let me tell you—it’s heaven.

 

I live with other dogs and cats now, and I get along with everyone just fine. I’m a pretty chill guy. I mostly nap during the day, but when it’s time to head out to the backyard, I still enjoy a little romp with the other doggos. I may not be as spry as I once was, but I’ve still got some pep in my step.

 

When they found me, I was a bit stinky—turns out I have a skin condition that makes me itchy. But no worries! With a special shampoo and some meds, I’m feeling much better and way less itchy.

 

Oh, and one more thing: I may be mellow, but I’ve got a mighty bark. I’ll always let you know if someone’s getting too close to the house or pulling into the driveway. Just doing my part to keep you safe.

 

✨ Senior sweetheart with a gentle soul ✨ Gets along great with dogs and cats ✨ Loves naps, soft beds, and backyard strolls ✨ On a simple skincare routine that keeps me comfy ✨ Loyal and protective with a big bark and a bigger heart

 

If you’re looking for a calm, loving companion who’s been through a lot but still has so much love to give, I’d love to meet you.
